Device Story

Waterlase Millennium is an Er,Cr:YSGG laser system for dental procedures. Hard tissue applications utilize laser energy combined with water atomization to cut, remove, roughen, and etch tissue. Soft tissue applications use direct laser energy for incision, excision, or ablation, with water spray for hydration and cooling. Operated by clinicians in a dental setting via a flexible fiberoptic handpiece with visible aiming light. Power output, pulse energy, repetition rate, and air/water flow are user-adjustable. Output allows for precise tissue management, replacing or augmenting traditional mechanical endodontic tools, potentially improving procedural efficiency and patient outcomes.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on equivalent performance specifications, intended uses, and comparison to established dental laser products and endodontic files.

Technological Characteristics

Er,Cr:YSGG laser system. Features adjustable power output, pulse energy, repetition rate, and air/water flow rates. Delivery via flexible fiberoptic handpiece with visible aiming light. Employs water atomization technology for hard tissue and hydration/cooling for soft tissue.

Indications for Use

Indicated for dental patients requiring root canal access, pulpotomy, pulp extirpation, root canal debridement, cleaning, and preparation/enlargement. Contraindicated for patients with specific medical conditions including local/topical anesthetic allergies, heart disease, lung disease, bleeding disorders, sleep apnea, or immune system deficiency.

Regulatory Classification

## Device Description:

The Waterlase Millennium dental laser system may be used to perform several dental applications. For hard tissue procedures the Waterlase Millennium utilizes the Erbium, Chromium: Yttrium, Scandium, Gallium, Garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser in combination with advanced water atomization technology to cut, remove, roughen and etch tissues. Soft tissue procedures are performed using a different mode of operation where direct Er,Cr.YSGG laser energy is applied to incise, excise or ablate the tissues. In soft tissue

procedures the water spray is applied for hydration, cooling or to keep tissues clean. A flexible fiberoptic handpiece delivers the Waterlase Millennium laser energy. A visible light emitted from the handpiece distal end pinpoints the area of treatment. In both hard and soft tissue applications the power output, pulse energy, repetition rate and air and water flow rates are adjustable to specific user requirements.

Please refer to the User Manual, section 8 Applications', for detailed instructions on how to use the Waterlase Millennium device.

### Indications for Use:

Tooth preparation to obtain access to the root canal Pulpotomy Pulp extirpation Pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy Root canal debridement and cleaning Root canal preparation including enlargement

#### Cautions and Contraindications:

All clinical procedures performed with Waterlase Millennium must be subjected to the same clinical judgement and care as with traditional techniques. Patient risk must always be considered and fully understood before clinical treatment. The clinician must completely understand the patient's medical history prior to treatment. Exercise caution for general medical conditions that might contraindicate a local procedure. Such conditions may include allergy to local or topical anesthetics, heart disease, lung disease, bleeding disorders, sleep apnea or an immune system deficiency. Medical clearance from patient's physician is advisable when doubt exists regarding treatment.

### Substantial Equivalence:

There are no unique applications, indications, materials or specifications presented herein. For all the soft tissue indications for use, Waterlase Millennium is substantially equivalent to several erbium laser systems and diode laser systems cleared by the FDA. Equivalent devices include: BioLase, Twilite (K991994, for oral soft tissues including pulpotomy and pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy): Premier, Aurora (K981379, for pulpotomy and pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy); BioLase, Millennium (K980585 and K990219 for hard tissue applications); Tycom Dental, Quantec Series 2000 Endodontic Files (K962031 for root canal

preparation) and Tulsa Dental Products, Tri Auto ZX (K970339 for endodontic treatment to enlarge root canals).

# Conclusion:

Waterlase Millennium is substantially equivalent to several available, established dental laser products and endodontic files driven by rotary handpieces. Waterlase Millennium performs the same indications for use through the same cutting modalities as other laser devices and endodontic files.

· Evidence of equivalence has been demonstrated through:

- · Equivalent performance specifications
- Promotional materials for equivalent systems
- · Equivalent intended uses
